Marquette is a small city located on the shores of Lake Superior. It's a remote area but has everything a person needs. We are surrounded by wilderness. Therefore, hiking, biking, hunting, fishing and camping are prevalent activities that draw people to the are. It is also an area that draws local artists together with several art festivals or gatherings per year. Marquette is a supportive community and everyone here lives here because they love the area.
Located on Lake Superior, Marquette is home to some of the states most beautiful scenery. The people are welcoming, giving it a "small, home-town" feel. Home to Northern Michigan University, it offers a reasonable array of events, extra-curricular activities, and museums. Overall, Marquette is a fair place to live, especially for the family and nature oriented.
Not a crazy big city but big enough for oppuritunities. More job oppurtunities would be better. Don't have alot of big name shopping. The outdoors are beautiful and lots to do!
